Wings and Wetlands Festival Saturday

O’Brien County Conservation is planning a great line-up of events to celebrate the annual multi-county Wings and Wetlands Festival on Saturday, May 12. Each year several northwest Iowa counties cooperate to celebrate the return of spring to Northwest Iowa.

Begin your day at 7:30 a.m. with a light breakfast at Prairie Heritage Center. Then, hit the trail in search of migrating songbirds. On a short walk to the river, over 30 different species can usually be counted. The group will then carpool to Wanata Park in Peterson to add some woodland birds to their list.
